[Xperia Arc General] tomatos:
Hay,

Question: Can I update with WotanServer but my Phone is not unlocked bootloader?

Thank you
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Yep. I have an unrooted and not-unlocked phone (straight out of the box you can say) and Wotanserver worked perfectly!
[Xperia Arc General] Finalfour:
My phone is rooted, and i removed with titanium backup lots of se apps, includes native home launcher (i use launcherPro). I was rooted with gingerbreak, so my bootloader is locked, of course.

Question: can i safety use flashtool and flash this new fw and save my data, without any risk? Of course, i will be loose my root, i know. But it will be only this one bad thing? Nothing else?
[Xperia Arc General] lupu666ro:
neo

does anyone have the neo version of this firmware?
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Yes, the Wotan servers.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Yep, wotanserver.com. Generic Germany running on my Neo and it's awesome!
[Xperia Arc General] lupu666ro:
unfortunately i have brown phone (proto) that can only be flashed with x10flasher, that's why i need the ftf file :)
[Xperia Arc General] CarbonX13:
A quick question... Has the camera's frame skipping in 720p video ever been fixed? I'm still on 2.3.2 (North America Generic), so I have no idea if it has been fixed in the later two updates on 2.3.3...

Or is it just my phone's issue (it always encounters frame skips when recording video, usually within the first minute).
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
It has been corrected loooong time ago with latest 2.3.3 firmware as well as battery issues.
[Xperia Arc General] radheck:
still nothing for generic SPAIN ??
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
It's not out officially yet. Wotanserver or Flashtool is the only way to update right now. If you have an Arc, just flash with Flashtool. You don't lose your data (if you do it right), you don't need root and you don't have to unlock your bootloader. Perfectly safe! If you have a Neo, you can try with Wotanserver but you will lose your user data.

Update your Sony Ericsson Home Launcher: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1200342
[Xperia Arc General] nikhil381:
it shows default as .22 only... installed the apk from the link still icons did not float...
[Xperia Arc General] BluechipJ:
Oh. Misread your post.

Floating = rearranging icons. Click and drag to move icons around.

It's been available on all builds of 2.3.x on the arc.

You should play around with your phone and learn to use the basic functionality.
[Xperia Arc General] nikhil381:
thanks... actually I had sorted them by last installed and in that view it does not float ..and I never used own order so hadn seen this view and seemed new to me
[Xperia Arc General] noob to xda:
I have installed some of the .apk on my Neo, and they seem to work very well indeed. Begs the question if the Arc software can be loaded on a Neo, or will that be asking for trouble?
[Xperia Arc General] sausalito:
I noticed an issue with this firmware :

now contact pictures are resized small (if synchronised with google account). Before, even if contacts are synchronised, pictures keep large size.

:(
[Xperia Arc General] terroj:
What are these shadows under the icons? How can I get those?
[Xperia Arc General] becks232323:
I am having problem with this firmware ...contact pics during call are very small in size ...I just want to know is there any way to increase the size of contact pics
[Xperia Arc General] fcousa:
It is the same problem in Iphone 4. When you have saved your contact pics in google contacts, you can not see them big on screen unless the pics are not linked to google contacts.
[Xperia Arc General] sausalito:
Except that this problem didn't exist in last firmware (even if contact are synchro with google).
[Xperia Arc General] bartbla:
I have a similar problem, it took me a few restarts and simcard removals and 3G/HSPDA works, GSM works, but GPRS often does not work.

With GSM I can call, but no data (GPRS) Icon appears..

Guess I'm going back to

[Xperia Arc General] maodevil:
I have a question maybe its stupid but i am new here so bare with me ok.

I have a telcel mexico phone i flashed this rom and everything runs beautiful and smooth but i wanted to know if in the near future there's an ota update is it going to come in as a global update or does it come as my carrier update:)
[Xperia Arc General] radeonddr:
I have a rogers branded phone just wondering what firmware would be best to try Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
I had similar problems with Generic first, then I flashed the Nordic.368 (since I am in Sweden) from Wontanserver and the problem seems to have disapeared. :)

But sometimes the 3G icon appears, it never did before, only the H icon was visible. :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] muzontnt:
Please, return this: :(
[Xperia Arc General] AdamUpNorth:
radeonddr, I've been using the Generic Global firmware on my Rogers phone for the last two releases and they work great.

You can follow the Flashtool instructions on the first post of this thread to update.

FYI, I'm finding a noticeable improvement in performance with this new this firmware (unrooted) over my rooted 145.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I prefer the newer versions, especially the smaller text. In some languages the most text didn't fit. Now even Dutch fits on the screen, and the fonts look sharper. Smaller text = more elegant.
[Xperia Arc General] dyjin:
It could. but it won't be really as smooth as before. You might have to wait for the tweaked and fit table release for the NEO
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
Eeeh, did anybody notice we have T9-keyboard now? :)
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I did, I knew we'd get it before the update was out. It's because of the Ray.
[Xperia Arc General] lastword112:
Arrghh, Where is the OTA for this? i have no intention of losing my root =/

World Generic 2.3.3
[Xperia Arc General] bartbla:
don't flash this rom, it is not ok, the gsm receiver really has some problems
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
What do you base your hypothesis on?
[Xperia Arc General] bartbla:
my phone was just fine until i flashed it with this rom, it is more difficult to get a connection with the provider and 9 out of 10 times GSM modus does not work at all.

I think my baseband was updated, because when I go back to an older firmware, the problem is still there, only less often
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gsarrica:
So... Lets just say I found this somewhere...

megaupload.com/?d=NMUVLKSZ

It is the new Gmail update (Gmail 2.3.5) with the signature permissions removed. All the widgets and apps that used the Gmail content provider are now able to read it again.

Instructions:

1. Uninstall Gmail (I usually clear data then uninstall)

2. Uninstall any app that needs to connect to the content provider. (Any app that stopped working after the Gmail update.)

3. Reboot phone.

4. Install the APK from above. (Gmail 2.3.5 with normal permissions)

5. Install your apps back.

NOTE: Google did change around labels somewhat. So just an FYI if some apps still dont work. They may not be able to tell what is unread. But I am guessing most apps just went for the unread count which still should be there.

NOTE2: You have to uninstall the other apps because of the way android asks for permissions. It may only do it once... I am not positive.

NOTE3: Good luck... This is all reversible as you should not even need root to do it. (I have not tested an unrooted phone) But I dont see why it wouldnt work. I am not responsible for your bad judgement.

Let me know if this works for others. I have tested it on my app Labelert.com and it seems to be working after I made a slight update to the unread label.

P.S. Sorry I cant post direct links yet.

Follow me gsarrica on twitter.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JimSmith94:
I won't have time to try this for a while, but I thanked you for this. :) Here's a working link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NMUVLKSZ
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lawalty:
Thanks.. when I get on my PC ill click ur 'thanks' button.

EDIT: I followed your instructions and BAMB everything is now working again! The only thing I had that pulled my gmail info was a little widget named 'Gmail Unread Count' the paid version.

I don't understand why Windozs Phone has an unread count tile, but a Google Android phone doesn't have anything like that. We have to rely on 3rd party developers, and now with this latest update, Google breaks it!

DAMN GOOGLE!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gsarrica:
Glad to see it is working for you guys also. This at least gives us some time to find a real workaround.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blees:
fix for gmail 2.3.5 not working with 3rd party apps

correct me if i'm wrong but if you uninstall the google 2.3.5 update and roll back to previous version...backup and uninstall the 3rd party app (launcher pro) that was effected...reboot your device... and last , re-install and restore your 3rd party app ( launcher pro ) then in theory, the gmail widget and unread counter should be working!? Doesn't that seem correct?? Or has this already been tried out?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gsarrica:
Yes if you roll back all will work fine. But if you want 2.3.5 you can go this route and be updated with everyone else. Why roll back when there is a working 2.3.5?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donnieblasko:
Thanks for posting this - I was intentionally not upgrading to 2.3.5 because it broke slidescreen, but it looks like SlideScreen might never be fixed :( http://larvalabs.com/blog/android/the-end-of-slidescreen/

Edit: Hmm it doesn't seem to let me install it on my EVO 4g with Gingerbread (HTC Stock ROM, rooted). I have the previous gmail version installed (2.3.4.1 i believe), and when I try to install the package, it just notifies me that it was unable to be installed :(

it worked for my rooted htc buzz. thanks man!

I don't think you can just install over your existing gmail...

Is there a copy of Gmail 2.3.5.2 around like this?

EDIT: Never mind, I followed -> http://koxx3.wordpress.com/create-y...-allowing-content-sharing-with-external-apps/ and that worked.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dulcificum:
This would be amazing except I have two issues:

1. I have no option to uninstall Gmail in Manage Apps.

2. If I try and install it anyway, it fails...

Any ideas or updated versions?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] B-rye785:
If your rooted you can uninstall with titanium back up. Then it should install apk. Also make sure your settings allow install from non-market sources.

Also should back up old gmail app first too.

life is everyone getting on their rooted nook, what are the best kernal's for the best performance/batt life... im using CM7 nightlie and getting about 12 hours with just reading using Aldiko
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
What's the average battery life for everyone
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
About 7 hours for me. I'm planning to buy an extended battery :). I always have to check my Facebook and twitter every hour and send about 400 texts a day and run Google music. In pretty sure if I was using my sister's evo it would only last me 5 hours lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
So it is better then the evo?

Anybody know about vs the photon
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
Yes it better than the Evo not by much but I'm sure that the Devs will cook some kernals up for the 3d to improve battery life a bit more. I'm not sure about the photon, but I know that the photon has a slightly smaller battery, 1500mah I believe. But it's not size that matters, it's how you use it.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
On my ROM, I get about 19 hours of moderate usage.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
I was looking through the dev section and saw that. Im going to wait a month before rooting, to make sure I don't have any hw issues, and to wait for an easier/ more stable root
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
More stable? Wth its as stable as it can get.
[HTC EVO 3D] biohazerd87:
If you're not worried about how big your phone is just get a seidio super extended battery. I got the biggest one they make for the Evo 3D, 4000mHa, and it lasts about two days and I'm a pretty heavy user. Even if you are a heavy multimedia user the 4000mHa will last you all day no problem.

[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
With that 19 hours, how much of that is with the display on?
[HTC EVO 3D] lex_is300:
Never really counted the hours I use it honestly...but right now I'm on 17 hours with 35% and the awake time shows about 8 hours. Obviously that's not all screen-on time...but prob like 5-6 is.

[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
If you go to the battery use and click display it will show you time on
[HTC EVO 3D] will survive:
Mine shows 12hrs up time with 3.5hrs awake time and still has 60% battery left on stock ROM. I guess I would call it light to moderate use. I should be within that range by the end of the night.

[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
I was looking at the guide in the development forum, and I noticed step one is S-off, at the moment I only want permanent root on my sensation without S-off, is there a way to do that?
[HTC Sensation] thedarkpassenger:
not possible
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
hmm that's disappointing, but at least it could be done now, thanks mate.
[HTC Sensation] crazy talk:
why do you want to avoid S-OFF? now that we have a path back to S-ON i don't see what would be holding you back.
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
so going back to S-on is no trouble?
[HTC Sensation] Sammydr10:
Correct lol
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
Why would you want that? Either way, just flash the RUU here for whichever phone you have.
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
well, S-off voids warranty. thanks for the link.
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
I believe rooting also voids warranty, so you shouldn't be rooting either then.
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
true but I reckoned it's sort of easier to unroot.
[HTC Sensation] Sian:
This is the same concern I have. From what I read, changing back to S-On isn't really that easy for noob like me. That's why all the more apprehensive. :P

Am thinking of sending my phone into HTC Care Centre to clean the speck of dust under my screen..
[HTC Sensation] ptit developer:
Just go to read every thing on : [Guide] to Installing S-off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on [03/AUG/11](noobproof)

If you want to S-ON, this advice is for you :

To S-OFF and to Root your phone, it is not very complicated, and after you can use really your phone.

After it is your choice, and it depends on what you want to do with it after.

In my mind, i want to be "adfree" and i want to use "setcpu", so it is enough to Root my phone, and if i have to S-OFF my phone to be "Permanently Root", i do it.

i'll try my best with magldr and i just loaded the openoffice.org package from the software manager. i lucked out with the hardware buttons. and remember that there is no arm distribution of windows except windows ce & windows 8 (which isn't released yet) so i can't really port anything.

btw... did anyone try to boot from magldr?

thanks for the input. i'll try it.
